Craft: Bird Feeder found via Pinterest posted by the blog Hodgepodge
- Need: SunButter (If you haven't heard of SunButter -- it is a spread made with sunflower seeds. Perfect for those with nut allergies!), bird seed, toilet paper tubes, paper plates, paper cups, popsicle sticks, yarn and hole punch.
- Prior to storytime, punch holes at the top of the tube and tie on the yarn. Secure to the inside of the tube with a small piece of tape (hopefully, this protects the yarn from getting all gooped-up with SunButter)
- Set up each craft seat with a plate and tube, and a small cup of SunButter (i would use something disposable!!)
- Instruct the kiddos to spread the SunButter all over the tube.
- When they have completed that step. Pour the bird seed onto the plate. Have them roll it around the plate, until the whole tube is covered.
- For travel purposes, place in a paper cup!!
Hi Jean,
ReplyDeleteWonderful post! I found it when you mentioned SunButter. Since I blog for them, I'm always looking for new recipes and ideas. Glad Hodgepodgemom was helpful. She's wonderfully creative and inspires ME as a mom! As a fellow library hound with our kids and bookworm, I'm so looking forward to following your blog. Take care.
Elizabeth,
DeleteThank you so much! We do have a good time around here ... I can't believe the talent of the bloggers that I follow. I am truly inspired by them.
Regards, Jean
Before the kids arrived did you have a spoonful of Sunbutter??? YUMMY! I LOVE Sunbutter. Great idea.
